Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 2913. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Feb. 11. Dyes, artificial.-Basic dyes which yield red to violet and blue shades upon silk, wool, and tanninmordanted cotton, are produced as follows :-(1) p-Diamidobenzophenone, or an alkyl derivative thereof, or a thioketone or auramine corresponding thereto, is condensed in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric acid, with alpha-methylindole (methylketole), alpha-phenylindole, or their derivatives which are halogenated or alkylated in the benzene nucleus. The dyes are precipitated by pouring the mixture into ice-water containing common salt. Examples are given in which p-diamidobenzophenone, its tetramethyl or tetraethyl derivatives, and auramine-G, are respectively condensed with methylketole ; and tetramethyl- and tetraethyl-diamidobenzophenone are respectively condensed with Pr2B3 dimethylindole, Pr2-methyl-B3-chloroindole, alpha-phenylindole, Pr2-phenyl-B3-methylindole, and Pr2-phenyl-B3-chloroindole. (2) If the ketones used in the first process are replaced by the corresponding hydrols, leuco bases are produced which are converted into dyes by oxidation. An example is given in which tetraethyldiamidobenzhydrol is condensed with methylketole in hot alcohol and hydrochloric acid, and the leuco base produced is precipitated and then oxidized by means of ferric chloride.

Title: Improved Device for Projecting the Casting Out of the Mould in Metal Casting Machines.
Inventor: MARUHN ERNST
Filed: 1901-07-31
Granted: 1901-09-21
Abstract: 15,540. Maruhn, E., and Uhthoff, E. July 31. Casting.-In machines of the kind described in the two preceding abridgments, the casting is ejected from the mould in the following manner:- An ejecting-blade d is carried by guide-rods e which pass through the end f of a lever g which swings loosely on the shaft c of the mould-carrying arm a. A spring k tends to draw the end f of the lever g towards the ejecting-blade. The ends of the rods e are formed as hooks which are rounded at e<1>, so as to be capable of sliding in the fixed guides h and also of turning relatively thereto. When the mould b descends, the blade d enters its open end and ejects the casting. The blade is kept in line with the radially-moving mould by the movement of the lever. g, against which the arm a abuts ; for as the lever g swings downwards it draws the rods e along the guides h from the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 to that shown in full lines.

Abstract: 24,911. Falconnet, H., and PÚrodeaud, M. Dec. 6. Tyres, pneumatic.-The part m i n of the air tube which lies within the rim is made stiffer than the other part, in order to protect it from damage by being nipped in the cover or rim. The stiffening may be produced either by gradually thickening the rubber, as shown in Fig. 2, or by embedding canvas or the like in the rubber, or by vulcanizing or superheating more highly the part to be stiffened, or by increasing the proportion of sulphur in it. The air tube is preferably made as large as or greater than the outer cover, so that, when inflated, the rubber of the air tube is under compression and is thus specially suitable for the use of self-sealing liquids.
